Abstract: Body exposure to fine particulate matter air pollution (PM2.5) can cause a variety of health damage. PM2.5 can act directly on the respiratory system and through the blood barrier, which is closely related to the body's various diseases. This paper elaborated possible mechanism of PM2.5 on the respiratory system as well as varying degrees of damage,pointed out the mechanism of toxicity, and a more in-depth toxicity mechanism from epidemiological studies. Meanwhile, this paper provides a scientific basis about PM2.5 and other cutting-edge issues.
